North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has raked in as much as $22 billion in foreign earnings from 2022 to 2025, according to a Bloomberg Economics analysis. That represents a 400% rise in revenues from the previous four-year period despite sweeping global sanctions.

So how did Kim do it, and why is a richer North Korea an even bigger concern for the world?

This is Bloomberg, a Super Super pro-western economic news media. They don’t have anything to gain by pushing pro-North Korea propaganda. They are just reporting what the economic data reports are saying about North Korea.

North Korea understood the assignment:
1. Get nuclear weapons and build up your military and security forces to modern capabilities, able to fight and defend North Korea from any attacks from its enemies.

2. Never give up your nuclear weapons and military and security power.

North Korea is under global sanctions but it more prosperous than most African countries. Africa the richest and wealthiest continent on the planet and yet its leaders are constantly begging for IMF-World Bank loans, and foreign aide, and African people living in poverty while literally walking on gold and resource wealth.

The evidence is clear. There is prosperity, development and peace when a country feels protected, defended , secured and safe.

Security is more important than Prosperity (Ask Black Wall Street in Black America)

The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) is following this model.
